Abstract

An article advocating in favour of introducing the Geometrical Product Specification (GPS) framework to pre-fabrication, pre-assembly and installation sections of the construction industry where designers, makers and inspectors can have clear and unambiguous terms of reference and rules of interpretation with which to discuss and negotiate in a dialogue between functional requirements and design specifications that can be modelled, manufactured and measured for conformance.
